INTRODUCTION• Basic idea is to use conducive tethers • Helium filled blimp or tubes• supported in the air without a tower

BENEFITS

• High altitude wind has great potential • Renewable source of energy• No pollution

WHY IS IT BETTER THAN WIND TURBINE?

• Exploits wind flows at higher altitudes• No tower construction• Can be used at large no. of locations across the

world• Higher efficiency• Cost effective

OUR AIM• To access the high altitude wind resource • Assembling & Analysis of existing research• Making of CAD model• Analysis of CAD model• Building a prototype

LITERATURE REVIEW• New field of research• Many companies are currently exploiting this area• Estimating to be fully functioning till 2015• Implementation possible at large as well as small

level

VARIOUS POSSIBLE DESIGNS

CAD DESIGN

TENTATIVE DEADLINES

• Literature & journals – September end• CAD models – Mid October• Analysis of CAD models – Mid November• Results and analysis – December• Ordering of various parts for prototype – February• Building the prototype – March
